Katrina

My family all lives in Louisiana and Mississippi
They had to leave before it hit
Their entire homes ruined
Nothing left, not one bit

5 in my family are missing
I hope to find them soon
I hope at night I no longer cry
And if they're gone that they're with you

I don't know why it happened
To me it doesn't make sense
How can something good come out of this
When every thing's a mess

I wish there was something I could do
Some way that I could hep
But there's no way to get in touch
So I sit here and wonder how people have dealt

Every night I've sat and wondered
Thinking where can my family be
Will we ever find them
Or will my family rapidly decrease by threes

How will Mississippi recover
From this incredibly tragic event
The cost to fix it 26 billion
How can these needs be met

It could be 20 years 'till the city is back to normal
People are told to not return for awhile
There's nothing for them to go back to
For all this damage goes on for miles

This incredibly tragic event
Has definitely aged my grandpa
In ways he doesn't understand
It's times like these when he needs my grandma

This story could be worse
Other people lost their lives
No one had any idea it would get this bad
Most families lost their children and wives

I know you have a reason God
But it always seems to be
That someone I love is gone
Why does it seem like this always happen to me

First it was my grandma
Then Michael and the boys
In August it was MJ
Sometimes it is hard to have any joy

Lord, this hurricane affects me
More than anyone knows
Will anyone I meet stay here on Earth
Or will they all leave for heaven and go

Lord if my family makes it
Please don't make me wait
Let me find out where they are
Wherever my family is, please God keep them safe
